So more 991 GT3 info is getting out and this time courtesy of a Rennlist member we have some photographic evidence to go along with it. Let's start with the most noticeable which is the 9000 rpm redline. PorscheBoost can not think of a production six cylinder motor for a street car with a higher redline. The last time 9000 rpm was seen in something without a prancing horse and 1/4 million dollar price tag happened to be the Honda S2000 which did it with a much smaller 2.0 liter four-cylinder motor and Honda actually ended up reducing the redline. This motor is going to have insane top end pull.

The ring time will be in the 7:30 range with 7:34 reported previously as per dealer information. Center locking wheels are standard in sizes of 245/20 up front and 305/20 in the back with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires.

PDK is standard, no surprise there and a great move for the performance enthusiast. Porsche stability control programs (which of course can be turned off) are standard.

The 997 GT3 is routinely praised as the epitome of the 911 evolution and arguably the best 911 ever made. It seems Porsche has managed to raise the bar with the 991 GT3. With these specs, this will simply be the closest thing to an actual cup car for the road money can buy. Porsche has done it again. There is no substitute.

It would be a heartbreaker for those hardcore MT GT3 owners out there, if it is only offered with a PDK. After all, this car is supposed to be as raw as possible while being street drivable. With that said, I hope they keep the MT, Porsche MT's are some of the best, and they just came up with that 7spd MT. I realize the PDK is mighty fast, but some people just have to have a MT. It would be amazing to row thru gears with that engine.
